The giant human QR code in Taiwan

In an effort to promote their country in a world seemingly obsessed with technology where practically everyone owns a smartphone, more than 1,000 Taiwanese gathered in the Taipei City Hall to form a giant human QR code last Sunday. This amazing sight was further punctuated with a big blue “Hi” in the middle, composed of 1,369 people carrying umbrellas. When scanned, the code directs users to a site containing the different sites and attractions that Taiwan offers.

According to a spokeswoman for the Wen Cultural & Educational Foundation, “While there may be many other different ways to promote the image of Taiwan, we chose this special way to do so.”
